About Erica
Erica Bellar, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, career concerns, and the stress of life changes. Erica also lists additional areas such as guilt and shame, chronic illness and pain, body image, postpartum issues, and workplace stress.
Erica uses person-centered therapy alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between meetings. She also brings life-coaching skills to conversations about goals and quality of life. This means sessions often move between processing strong feelings and identifying specific actions to try.
People typically talk about what led to their guilt or shame, and then test small changes to how they think about those events. Erica helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of responding. She supports work on mood concerns, panic, isolation, and family of origin issues without judgment.
Her work includes attention to health-related challenges such as chronic illness and pregnancy or postpartum changes. She also helps with transitions like divorce or career shifts, and seasonal mood changes such as SAD. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change.
Erica offers counseling informed by 19 years of practice and her LPC credential. Sessions are conducted in English from Colorado. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Erica blends person-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them clarify values and feelings. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thought patterns and introduce practical exercises to change reactions and behavior. These methods suit concerns like anxiety, depression, panic, and persistent guilt or shame.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Erica collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they may shift between deeper exploration and hands-on skill practice based on what the client needs at the time.
